PREFACE. 



This book comprises a series of carefully graded and pro- 
gressive questions upon the three fundamental branches of 
common education which are at present receiving special 
attention from the new school of educators. These ques- 
tions are not in any sense " quizzisms," or what are gener- 
ally denominated "test problems." They are plain and 
practical and calculated to meet the capacity of minds intel- 
ligently qualified for their respective grades. They were 
prepared for ordinary classes and pupils, not for the ' ' bright 
ones " only, but for all, and any pupil who has studied the 
subjects upon which the questions are based, may review 
from the pages of this book with benefit. 

The booh affords daily work and opens up a field of sug- 
gestion and thought in the mind of a teacher, which is 
limited only by her originality and her aptness to perceive 
a suggestive thought. As to the practicality of these ques- 
tions it is enough to say that the complete series has been 
the outgrowth of class work conducted within the personal 
experience of the authors. 

The uses of the book are varied, thus : Does the teacher 
desire to be guided in a definite course of progressive study? 
She will find a valuable aid in Graded Reviews. Is there 
difficulty in organizing classes and allotting pupils to their 
proper place therein ? A help may be found here at the 
teacher's hand. Does the teacher desire a reliable and 
positive guide to direct her in the course of each day's rou- 
tine? or does she desire, after treating the subject in her 
own fashion, to examine and review her class? She will 
find here a comprehensive summary which will intelli- 
gently test the knowledge of her pupils upon the subjects 
taught. 



iv PREFACE. 

Very often advanced pupils are confined to the work of 
their respective grades and fail to keep before them the 
successive steps of fundamental principles by which they 
progressed. By using the Graded Eeviews as a text book, 
they may revert daily, if necessary, to simple problems 
and encourage at once a wider familiarity with the sub- 
ject and a livelier comprehension of the whole range of the 
study. 

With the earnest hope that teachers may be helped in 
their work so as to obtain better results with greater facility, 
the authors leave the book in their hands.

which is $280,000. If they make the mistake of multiplying the $294,000 by five 
per cent, they cheat the merchant out of $700 worth of sugar; because they pay 
the agent commission on his commission.

Everybody did so. Old Numa Pompilius himself was 
obliged to trundle off in the dusk. Tarquinius might be a 
very superb fellow, but we doubt whether he ever saw a 
farthing rushlight; and, though it may be thought that 
plots and conspiracies would nourish in such a city of dark- 
ness, it is to be considered that the conspirators themselves 
had no more candles than honest men. Both parties were 
in the dark. 1 ' 

Note.— In ancient times people had no candles or lights. A farthing rushlight 
was dried rushes used as wicks. De Quincey thinks that Tarquinius had never 
seen them even. They then went to bed because they had to go.— {Taken from

and on Hygiene in the Long Island College Hospital; Senior Physician to the Sea-Side 
Home for Children, Coney Island, Etc. 

Wholesale Price, $1.20. Price by mail for examination, $1.00. 

The New York Nation, October 30, 1884, says: 
ii Dr. Jero77ie Walker's Anatomy, Physiology and Hygiene appears an 
almost faultless treatise for colleges, schools and general readers. Careful 
study has not revealed a serious blemish; its tone is good; its style is pleas- 
ant, and its statements are unimpeachable. We cordially commend it as a 
trustworthy book to all seeking information about the body and how to pre- 
serve its integrity." 

The book is highly recommended by such eminent authorities as Professors D. 
Hays Agnew, M. D.; John H. Packard, M. D.; Jos. G. Richardson, M. D.; Frank H. 
Hamilton, M. D.; Samuel G. Armor, M. D.; C. L. Ford, M. D.; President J. H. 
Seelye, of Amherst College; President E. G. Robinson, Brown's University; and the 
press and teachers generally throughout the country who have had an opportunity to 
examine the book. It has already been adopted in some of the best high schools, 
seminaries and colleges in the country.

"It is more attractive than a romance." — The Free South. 

Dr. A. D. Mayo says in the New England Journal of Education : 

"Although we have already given place in our book-notice column to an 
appreciative mention of the volume, ' Development Lessons,' a new read- 
ing seems to call for a new commendation of this admirable guide to 
teachers. Mr. De Graff needs no special 'boom' as a first-class institute 
man, and his abstracts of lectures in Part III sparkle with valuable sugges- 
tions. In no published work is Colonel Parker really seen to such advantage 
as in the ' reports of conversations ' with him in Part II, which can be 
studied with profit by every teacher. But perhaps the most complete por- 
tion of this admirable book is the 178 pages of lessons on the Senses, Size, 
Form, Place, Plants and Insects, by Miss M. K. Smith, now Teacher of 
Methods in the State Normal School at Peru, Neb."

PRACTICAL WORK IN THE SCHOOL-ROOM. 

By SARAH F. BUCKELEW and MARGARET W. LEWIS. 

Part I.— THE HUMAN BODY. 

Transcript of Lessons given in the Primary Department of Grammar School No. 4Q, 
New York City. 

The work embodied in this book has been tested in manuscript for a 
dozen years. The lessons are so presented that the inexperienced teacher 
may follow them literally, if he chooses, while at the same time they are 
full of helpful suggestions which the wisest teacher will welcome. 

The subject of Stimulants and Narcotics is treated in conformity with 
recent legislation in several States. We claim that this is the only physi- 
ology published that is suitable for the primary grades. 

From the School Journal, New York, November, 1884. 

First is given a model lesson; second, a formula embodying the principal 
facts given during the development and teaching; third, questions for the 
formula; fourth, directions for teaching; and fifth, questions on the lesson. 
These last are important. A full plan of lessons is given for each week for 
five months, in each of six grades, showing exactly how much work ought 
to be attempted. No book could be made more helpful to teachers. To 
the thousands who are' asking, "Tell us how to teach," here are full, 
minute, and correct instructions. Even the answers expected are given, 
blackboard outlines are arranged, and nothing is wanting to make the book 
as useful to teachers as it is possible for any book to be. It ought to have 
a large sale. No book published during the last ten years will do more 
to drive away routine from the school-room and introduce thought than 
this, if only the teachers will use it. Its introduction displaces nothing 
but the old-fashioned monotonous recitations. Let them go; we welcome 
this book as an important aid in hastening along the good time of better 
teaching. It is excellently printed, with good paper and binding. 

Teachers' Edition, mailing- price, 75 cents. 
Pupils' Edition, mailing- price, 40 cents.

THE GRAPHIC WRITING CHART. 

To accompany any standard system of penmanship. The letters are so 
large and distinct (capitals six inches high) that they can be easily seen 
from any part of a large school-room. The new feature of building the 
capital letters upon squares is introduced, which materially aids the pupil 
in their construction. The figures are of the most improved pattern. The 
engraving is beautiful.

THE GRAPHIC READING LEAFLETS. 

By A. B. GUILFORD and OTTO ORTEL, Primary Teachers. 

■ FIRST SET. — We would invite the attention of all interested in Primary 
Instruction to the Graphic Reading Leaflets. The distinctive features of 
the work are: 

1 . The Method used — Is the " objective word-method. " 

2. Repetition— Each word taught is frequently repeated in succeeding 
lessons, and, consequently thoroughly learned. Review lessons occur at 
regular intervals. 

3. The Detached Leaves — Each lesson is complete on one side of the 
the card. No poring over succeeding lessons before enough progress has 
"been made to warrant advancement. 

-4. Economy in Use — They contain more than twice as much reading 
-as the ordinary First Reader, and at a much less cost. Any single card, 
if destroyed, can be replaced at the nominal cost of one cent.

This book lays out the work in these branches in accordance with modern

We think no previous attempt has been made thus to classify the knowl- 
edge on these various subjects, and arrange it in a book.
